The International Bluegrass Music Museum (IBMM) is located on the banks of the mighty Ohio River, in the RiverPark Complex, in historic, downtown Owensboro, Kentucky.
In 1991, the International Bluegrass Music Museum (IBMM) was incorporated as a non-profit educational/ historical organization. In its first years, it was a small operation focused on the collection and preservation of bluegrass music’s history, recordings, and artifacts. Most museum visitors were directly related to the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) and its annual mega-event, Fan Fest. Both IBMA and Fan Fest were located in Owensboro, Kentucky, for many years. |
